hi there :thumbsup: ive owned my skyline for about three months now. had an awesome time with it until recently. my car had a misfire and was showing all signs of an afm problem. i took a risk n dropped it off to NISSAN! suprisingly they did their job and found the fault. it was a broken wire on the afm plug. so $170 later i was driving smoothly again. BUT! it was down on power, running smooth but just seemed a bit more like gtst on high boost than a gtr :laughing-smiley-014: well it dont stop here. two days later im waiting at a red light when the car decides to idle between 100-200rpm? giv it a rev n it seems to go away. now a few more days have gone by n it seems to be happenin while driving aswel, under load or cruising down hill! kinda feels like someones slowly pullin up the handbrake then lettin it off, so not a violent misfire. as i said it was at nissan so it has been plugged in and came up with no other faults and didnt present this prob while in their hands. ive got a few ideas. fuel filter, pump? coils is the obvious one. ive taken them all out and didnt see any cracks that ive heard about, only a slight burn mark on each side where the metal goes around them. im sure it gets f*kn hot so is prob normal. it has new platinum plugs and is relativly unmoddified enginewise. any input would be much appreciated :thumbsup:

yeah the guy at nissan checked the top afm and found the wire on the plug was broken, so the top one should be ok but i doubt he checked the lower one. just another note, the car does have a very small flat spot when you 1st put ya foot on the gas off idle, also does the same if your cruising along with ya foot just touching the throttle but stil its very small. also whos ' the man' in victoria to take a gtr to get work done? im from nz n not been in vic long so i wouldnt have clue?!:P

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
